Crane Technologies, Group

The original Shovelhead was a v-twin engine made from 1966 to 1984 and replaced the panhead design. The name derived from the appearance of the rocker box covers. Crane Cams® has performance parts for original and third-party engines for the Shovelhead.

The Twin Cam 88® 96™ and 103™ were the successors to the Evolution® engine and have many of the same characteristics like most Harley-Davidson® engine types. Both have great potential especially with the right performance upgrades.

A sure-fire preventative to costly valve train damage, bending the tabs on the locking plate over the cam bolts ensures that the cam gear won't come loose.

High performance replacement for OEM followers in overhead cam applications. Designed and metallurgically engineered for optimum compatibility with the lobe composition of Crane cams.

High performance OEM replacement coils that deliver 20-50% more spark energy than typical stock coils (tested using SAE J973a procedures). They feature computer-designed windings for superior spark gap current and are oil filled for maximum cooling, while alkyd coil towers eliminate failure from...

A step up from canister-type coils, these are a high output E-core design that's well suited for either racing or street use. They deliver 70-100% more spark energy than stock or other aftermarket coils. The E-core design with a closed magnetic path reduces leakage and improves energy transfer....

There are two types of hydraulic lifters; an "Anti-pump up" model for racing and street use, and a "Hi Intensity" (Fast Bleed) lifter for street applications. The bleed rate on Anti-pump up lifters is carefully maintained my micro-tolerance internal valving, allowing the engine to reach its full...

Crane offers both the original "Classic" roller lifter and the ultimate Ultra-Pro™ model. The "Classic" lifters are excellent for street and mild competition applications where the maximum valve spring pressure (open) does not exceed 600 lbs. or 240 lbs. seat pressure for drag racing and 220 lbs....

Crane's Mechanical ("solid") lifters are manufactured from premium grade alloyed materials selected for their compatibility with camshaft lobes. They are precision machined for optimum in-bore concentricity and designed for reliable operation at engine speeds up to 8500 RPM.

Required to limit the lateral movement of a roller camshaft, Crane offers both friction-reducing needle bearing-equipped buttons or economical solid aluminum models.
